How many miles do you put on your vehicle per year?

I have a Tahoe that has 190K miles on it but I bought it with 40K in 2004. I live in a fricking box I guess.

Last year, I put 9,250 miles on it. And with that, one trip to Dauphin Island and numerous trips from North Georgia to Auburn.

I would think the average it 15K per year but I have friends who do 40K per year.


Numbers?

It really depends, now that I got a motorcycle most of my commuting unless it's freezing cold or raining then I just drive that. But most of my long distance traveling I do by car so I'd probably say around 10k-15k per year.

I need to start tracking that this year. Bought my Suburban used 4 years ago, but have been pretty inconsistent with my work commutes since then.

Even though it's an '02, it only has like 166k miles on it, I think.

Bought my car brand new in March 2011, it had 77 miles on it (brought in from another dealer in a trade).

As of now I have just over 69k. Would have a ton more but I telecommute a good bit now.

We have 3 vehicles and probably do 25K a year between them. My wife is retired and I work from home.

Example: I have a 2016 Highlander we bought in November last year, and it has 2500 miles on it.

About 18k a year, my car is 4 years old and bought with 5 miles on it. I currently have 63k on it... so while that averages over 20k a year the past 3 I've put less than 20. A lot of that came from me trying to work part-time selling insurance which put a ton of miles on my car. Quit after the first year as the income wasn't worth the time and effort.

My work truck on a project? ~5k miles a month. My personal car? Maybe 250 miles...

Before I had this job, I put 20k miles a year on my car commenting from Savannah-New Orleans.

Now seats on American? I probably rack up about 50k a year.
